      Hey Guys!
      Has anyone here ever tried or been successful in repainting Breyer Horse models?

      I was thinking of getting a cheapie one from eBay to try with. What paints would work well? Acrylics or another paint type?

      Any suggestions or experiences you’ve had?

        *scratches head* I know we’ve had a bunch of Breyers customizers here on the forum over the years, hopefully one will pop up soon. I’m not one! lol though I do have a very small left from childhood collection and pick them up at tbrift stores to resell-I’d advise checking there or yard sales before you hit eBay, or even here in the non-Windstone classifieds. One thing I will recommend is a model animal collector’s forum, STS is its name. There are a bunch of repainters and even sculptors there, and the people were pleasant.

        I think that usually acrylics or powders are used, but don’t quote me on that.

          Might look at YouTube videos as well.  I was doing some research on apoxie sculpt and found a video where someone was customizing a Breyer horse by adding more muscle detail and changing the mane and tail.  There are probably painting videos too.
